Exhibited home interiors have played an important role in transferring ideas on dwelling and domestic design.

A number of these influential ‘interiors on display’, documented in the latest issue of DASH, were presented.

1:1 Period Rooms is one instalment in a triptych devoted to interiors. Het Nieuwe Instituut previously presented the exhibition 1:1 Sets for Erwin Olaf & Bekleidung. These will be followed in 2016 by an exhibition devoted to the showroom.
